The precinct I worked today had 63% turnout, not including early and absentee voters.

That pretty good for a midterm election. 1118 voters with 73 new registrations today. There seemed to be a marked increase of minority voters who were very eager to vote. A long, but rewarding day.

I was able to say Thank You in sign language to a deaf man and his smile lit up the room. He then shook my hand for the effort of being able to at least say something. Probably the highlight of my day.

A very motivated group of voters, majority Democratic.
